force yourself to dream... Dreaming is the main thing we have for progress. Our brains work 100thousand times faster in REM mode..If you can daydream you live 2 days inside of 20 minutes. Why Artistic people soo dam talented they live in a REM mode.


certainly you mean autistic

We evolved the ability to be awake.
We start out dreaming, and work our way to this place... what we are now.

I heard that 95.3% of statistics are made up (including this one)! :evil:

i would first consider dreaming is like an hard disk defrag or something like that lol xD
on the second maybe it can also open some extra features we dont/cant have while awake or so

so it would be a mix of :

Extra thinking time to solve problems (as explained below)
For a different reason (post what you think)

...The stats are based on the info given, you can compute the % yourself from the damn image...

/e

14% of the top part is 14% the height of the image. If you subtract that what's left over is the other 86%. You cannot be serious...

no no...his problem was definitely that he didn't think the image was to scale.

i don't know how you would mistake his reply for anything else.

yeah, (as others have pointed out), the fact that you don't even understand my criticism is quite telling....

So, the part he literally cut out and re-uploaded then posted, was not the part he meant to address? Face value, you should never come to this section again.

There is no scale to which your lack of intelligence can be categorized. What is "telling," is that you still after my comment, do not understand what the percentiles are based on.
I would do as you did and rip the image into parts with a lecture as to how they relate, but I'm only permitted 3 images, and I'm positive you would require more.

As I said to the first quote, you should never come to this section again. Might I suggest a religious section, that might fit your intellectual capacity.

You're on your way, using those types of explanations via complex expressions are vastly more informative, because 2013, everyone uses a computer, and making relations to them explains things much more clearly.
Though, you might want to explain more as to why it is like a hard disk defrag, rather than it just being that way.
I do agree with everything you said to a point. That it is like a hard disk defrag, in relation to it takes all the information and memories we formed while awake and scans them, processes them, then compiles them down into a more free-state, like extra space on the hard-drive.

In addition to the extra time to think and solve problems; I know that time is not contiguous, so what happens in your dream-state is not relative to when you are asleep or awake. You stay asleep until one or two things have happened, the defrag and cleaner have completed, successfully been stopped, or you have died.

Really you could think of sleep in two components; CCleaner and Defraggler by Piriform. To compress and create free-space by resolving illogical problems and redundancies.
Of course, how it does any of that is completely speculation.
